Original design and hand painted with care. He will surely bring the Christmas spirit alive. 26cm x 26cm making this mirror unique and makes a great gift for a Teacher, family or friends. 

You can hang the mirror in the winter season not just for Christmas. I enjoy making ornaments for any craft that can stay out for the season not just for a couple weeks.

With these cheese spoon I have transformed them into lovely ornaments. I will drill a hole on the top so  it can be hung on the tree. Pengiun, Snowman, Polar Bear and Gingerbread man. Made of wood and added snowflake to each ornament. There are not two alike as they are all hand painted.

Here are some new designs of snowman and polar bear on a heart shaped glass ball. 40 mm of cuteness. The ornament is small but makes a big impact on your tree. All these new designs are Christmas gifts for my family. Not two ornament alike as they are all hand painted.

I have been very busy this year with renovations coming to an end around Christmas.  My crafting has been on the back burner for a long time but now I have some time to make Christmas gifts in the next couple of weeks


To start things off here are some cute little snowmen bundled up high to keep them warm on those snowy days.

I started them last year and I ran out of time to complete the design. I am posting some more today so keep an eye out for new gift ideas. I am also including some idea for Teacher gifts. All ornaments are hand painted and design with care.

The end of the school year is complete and the kids are home. I have been away from my blog for some time now but plan to get back to crafting in the beginning of the school year.  Once again I will blog my craft creations. Life happens so I go with the flow.

My creative side has missed the hands on touch and feel of newly created gifts for some special people that give our kids time to develop into the future generation. It is always difficult to find original gift ideas for teachers. I create new gift ideas twice a year. This year I had to create something that both male and female teachers could relate to. Not to girly but in the middle. I came up with this idea last year to create a bell but not just any bell. 


The bottom part of the bell is a acrylic painted terra cotta pot. I could not find handles in Belgium so I had some in Canada and took them here last Christmas to complete this idea. The worm is a bookworm bookmaker. You can not see in the photos here that the worm has tiny sparkles all over the clay.  

This is another version that came about while creating the first one. Everyone who knows Hello Kitty knows the shape and my daughter recognized this one so it passed the Hello Kitty recognition test. I didn't tell her what it was. She said awww hello kitty can I touch it. It was dry so I let her touch it..otherwise when I put my tree up I have a feeling they will be pulled off the tree..hehe :0 ).

This glass ball is personalized as well with a snowflake next to the name. Another idea for Hello Kitty manufacturer to use. Maybe you will see more of these next year. Sparkles and glitter boys and girls. Always sparkles for the little ladies....

I took some time to figure out how to make these ornaments of Hello Kitty for the little girls in our family. My daughter loves Hello Kitty and found that the ornaments in the store were not what I was looking for...so of course I had to design my own.

The ones in the store I found to be plastic shrink wrapped and not to my liking. This one has sparkles and glitter...just like our little girls want them to be. I hope they are excited to get their own personalized Hello Kitty ornaments not seen or sold in stores. Ah well, it's an idea for Hello Kitty manufacturer to make them now ...I put the idea out there. Will not be sold to general public as it is copyrighted material.

I may have mentioned this before but I really like snowmen. I have a couple but I cant help myself they are so fun to paint. So, this year I decided not to give out angels with the teachers name but a more abstract snowman or snowman scene with the teachers name on the back. Happy Holidays was a spare I thought I would show the writing on the back but not the names of the actual teachers.

I hope they enjoy them. They are very sparkly and will look great on anyone's tree.

Hand painted on cork these lovely snowmen would brighten anyone's day. Hang it on the tree or hang it on the door handle. 

The pumpkin pirate was a big hit for my daughter. She loved it...but my son said he wanted a real pirate. So I did some searching online and found this cool pirate. Taking longer than the pumpkin with all the colours and making those jeans just right. I am using a bit of sparkle fun foam for the sword. Not sure how that will go over with my son. If he doesn't like it I have a bit of grey felt to do the job. The Process is the same as the pumpkin. I flip the shirt inside out...draw it. If you can't draw you can transfer a design on then cut the pieces out. Start sewing the bottom pieces first so the eyes and buttons of the eyes are last. I pinned these pieces.
